English language challenges

Hi mates, today I write about my English class at the university. First of all, when I start the career I pass directly to third level of the four that exist in english in my faculty. In this level we should know write this blogs quickly. But, it was so difficult for me. I was not fast and the vocabulary that I was handling at that time was insufficient. So, I used excessively the translator. Today I could write without looking for every word, but I like learn or remember some expressions so I complement the job with the translator. So, I feel that it has been a good methodology to learn english even in a self-taught way.

On the other hand, I am pleased with the oral practices, because I learn new vocabulary with the talks in pair. I discover in that occasions some difficulties in grammar for me so I need review some modal verbs and auxiliaries. But in general I can understand the ideas and explain my thoughts.

Maybe, if I would use my english out of class, probably I would know more vocabulary today, but in fact I don´t practice, hardly ever I try to learn text in english. And it is because I have problems to the vocabulary specific and some times even with the daily vocabulary. So, I will try this summer, when I have a lot of time, include more vocabulary practices.

If you know any article or text in english about nutrition or some interesting concept, do you write in comments? thanks in advance :)

Changes to my study programme

If I could change my study programme, I will start to change the workload in the first year because I think it is excessive and we, the students can´t learn or process all the contents. Also, due to the time in class and all the homework, we don´t sleep enough, which is necessary to be healthy and to be focus. Furthermore, I will like to have more workspaces in the faculty because currently, the spaces available are full of classmates. I would like a workspace outdoor, where are nice stay in hot days.
Another way, about the curriculum, I think is necessary to add a course related to participatory design because it is essential for architecture and urban planning proyects. Also, I would like that the course about sustainability design was more extensive, maybe in two semesters and not only one. I would like too have a bigger coffee shop.

Summer Plans

Hi mates! I'm very happy because this summer I will travel with my family to the south of Chile. We didn't have family holidays at least the last two years, because the economy of the house wasn´t stable. But this year we know that we could have better holidays and we choose to do a tour from Chiloe and travel toward the north, visiting a lot of cities and places.
Also, I will exercise work out, I will visit friends that I can´t see in class period.

The books

Hi guys! I should start telling you that I am not a good reader. So, I can't remember which was the last book that I read. But, I choose to read a few books in my short life. If I try to remember, I did read all the book "The tunnel" of Ernesto Sabato in one day because the drama of the history was so excited to me. I just started reading and I did not stop until I finished all the pages. I really recommend it! I like so much read it, but it isn't my favorite book. I am not sure if I have one favorite book.
Today I like so much read. But the most texts that I read are of papers, articles or news. In some case, I read an extract of some books, related to architecture, urbanism or philosophy of architecture. But usually, I don't read all book.
I remember a great book that I did read at school. The name was "The knight in the rusty armor". I did like so much and I remember that I did recommend to my father. It was a metaphorical book of self-care. I was a child, so I was so surprised of the creative way to explain with literary figures. The author is Fisher Robert.
Finally, I don´t have a favorite author and my kind of book are of drama related to introspection.

If I will study more, could be for be a change

Exist a lot of subject interesting for me. I am very inspired when I read about phlilosophy, psychology, sociology or nutrition. And I like learn in a practical form too, for example, cooking. But I think that we can learn so much in a self-taught way too surfing in internet. I do it like hobbie, but don't as much like I would like.
However, in the future I see me mixing different areas, creating from the interdisiplinary. So, if I had get the form to mix architecture with cooking, I will study to be chef. Really, I don´t know if I prefer it in Chile or in other country. Here en Santiago would be easier. And I think that face-to-face form it´s the optimum way, maybe in part-time modal. But should be in a different way because I am veggie, so I need a special institution that respect my diet because it´s necessary taste food when we cook and I have strong convictions about why we don´t have to eat meat. Maybe this restriction give me de posibility to plan an abroad study, where is popularest other kinds of diet like vegan. I would love foment this lifestyle with a magnificent and creative form. If I achived with this have a work I will feel very satisfied to myself.

A future job

I don´t think about the future usually because I cosider that it is very uncertain and this is why I don´t have expectations about it. But I have a lot of preferences and I want that my job satisfy any of them. So, firts the one, I want to work at least once out of my country, because I know there many people and learnings to nourish me out there. But I would like taking a postgraduate course abroad too because I find interesting the discussion about architecture since different cultures. Until now, the topic that interests me is the urban planning, but I don´t know wich one I would like take yet.

I can't imagine how working a lot of time outdoor daily in architecture. But really I like work indoor, where I can be more focused and comfortable. But if I travel and I obtain an outdoor job, anyone, I will be so happy too.

Maybe, I will study a second career in other country too. I have always loved cooking and I learn self-taught through internet. I have considered study it or make a career in kitchen, working and learning by watching.

About the salary, I woluld like that it was enough to live quietly and be able to do the things that I like.

My favourite movie

Hi everyone! Today I will tell you which is my favorite film and genre. First of all, I am not a great film lover and I don´t know so much about the arts closely linked to the cinema, but I could be nice to learn more about it. Usually, I prefer genres like comedy, adventure, drama and love. And I always avoid horror movies because it makes me nervous and anxious, especially in the cinema.
I remember a lot of movies that could be my favorite, and all of them are so different. The movie "The Revenant" starring Leonardo Dicaprio, and I choose it because the landscapes and the soundtrack are amazing. Another is "Eat Pray Love" starring Julia Roberts, a sensitive movie, where you could travel imagining flavors, smells and feelings. Also, I really enjoy when I saw "I origins" because the plot opened a path in my mind about the immaterial thing. If you are curious about any of these movies, you don´t miss seeing them.
Being honest, I don´t remember what was the last movie that I saw because I don´t have enough time to watch a whole movie, but I'm sure that you could enjoy the previous movies as much as I.

A country I would like visit

Someday I would like go to Finlandia because it is a quality of life stands out and they have a weather so different about us. The southern are covered by snow three or four months a year and in summer average values of 15°C are reached in the north and 20°C in the south. Although I don't like the could, I really want visit a city full of snow some day. Other attractive of landscape are the aurora borealis, which appear on more than 200 nights a year in Finnish Lapland. I can imagine how amazing would be see that green lights in a sky full of stars.

When I can travel there, I would like it be in holydays and visit all their special places. And if I like the manners and everything else, I would like live there, because their education program is so innovative and I think that it is essential to advance in culture.

I hope to know this country as soon as possible!!

Personal information on internet

If I think about the risk of share my personal information on public websites, I could be paranoid and imagine that I have a psychopath looking for my location and who is my family or something else. But usually I don't care about it because I prefer stay away of this preocupations, and because I think that exist a huge amount of people that share more information of themselves. Anyway, I hasn't share enough information to do so much. But, I has be precared naturally and I think isn´t necessary show my ID or adress. Maybe I feeling more vulnerable with my "hidden information" and what they can do the companies like Google or others with that. Because I have linked all my accounts with Gmail and from there I probably wrote anytime my ID and adress. Also, they know my likes and then show me publicity about that.

My favourite social media is facebook because there I have access to memes, culture information, funny videos, events, diffusion groups and chat at the same time. But I don´t trust in the intentions of the owner of the company, so I limit myself to using it in banalities.
